[H3] Jonathan’s story

“That's the thing with cancer treatment, you think ‘well, I was a bit overweight, I've lost some weight,’ but it doesn't work like that, you lose muscle.”

[H5] Medical nutrition complemented my day-to-day diet. I started feeling more nourished, and in general I felt stronger and more energised.

[H2] An introduction to cancer and weight loss

Cancer is a term used to group together a set of diseases that can affect almost any part of our body; it will affect around 1 in 2 people during their lifetimes.3 A cancer diagnosis can be a life-changing event for both the patient and their loved ones. Both the disease and its treatment can be extremely demanding on the body, taking away strength when the body needs to be at its strongest.4

[H2] Cancer and appetite loss
When diagnosed with cancer, loss of appetite may seem a relatively minor issue. But without adequate nutrition, your body is less able to cope with both the cancer and its treatment– reducing the chance of a successful treatment6. Ensuring good nutrition and avoiding weight loss is therefore an essential part of a patient’s treatment and recovery plan.

[H2] Cancer and taste changes
Changes in taste and smell are more than just an unpleasant side effect of cancer treatment. They can stop you eating a healthy balanced diet, potentially leading to weight loss and even malnutrition – at a time when your body needs to be at its strongest.

[H2] Cancer and weight loss
Keeping physically strong during cancer can be tough; the side effects of the disease and its treatment can take a toll on the body, negatively affecting appetite, the way we taste food and even the way our body absorbs nutrients. For many cancer patients (30-80%5) this leads to weight loss. Importantly, the majority of the weight lost by cancer patients is muscle7 – or ‘lean body mass’ – the protective tissue needed to keep the body strong and withstand treatment. Losing a significant amount of weight can even delay treatment8-9.

[H2] The role of medical nutrition in cancer care
Weight loss during cancer, particularly loss of lean body mass, can have a negative impact on the health of a patient, increasing the rate of complications and affecting the success of both treatment and recovery9-11. It is therefore important that cancer patients maintain weight to give themselves the best chance possible. When eating and drinking become difficult due to the disease and/or treatment side effects, medical nutrition may be prescribed by a healthcare professional and can help by delivering all the nutrition a patient needs to support weight12-14.

[H1] Cow’s Milk Allergy

[H3] Lorena and Maria’s story

“When Lorena was born, I chose to breastfeed her. But she cried so much. She was always awake and irritable. We were extremely worried that something serious was going on. After months of sleepless nights and countless visits to the doctor, she was diagnosed with cow’s milk allergy. Although we were relieved it wasn’t anything more serious, it was also a very emotional time. I gave up breastfeeding and switched to specialized formula.”

After about 5 days I knew that I had made the right decision. I called the doctor and said, ‘I don’t know what’s happening, she’s actually sleeping at night’. The doctor said ‘yes, that’s normal for a child her age’. We were so happy.”

[H5] After months of sleepless nights, she was finally sleeping. We were so surprised that we actually called the doctor to ask if something was wrong!”

[H3] The role of nutrition in allergy

Breastfeeding ensures that an infant gets the best possible nutrition for healthy growth and development. Breast milk also supports an infant's developing immune system by delivering important antibodies and immune-boosting substances which pass on passive immunity to help protect infants against many potential diseases (gastrointestinal and respiratory).

[H3] Digestive health

The digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract, commonly known as the gut, and other digestive organs. A healthy adult gut is home to 100 trillion bacteria - a unique community known as the microbiota. This microbiota plays an important role in gut function and is vital for our health. The importance of gut health starts early in life. As the digestive system of a newborn matures it develops an ability to produce enzymes to digest food and antibodies for protection.

A healthy gut and microbiota development is crucial for overall growth and development, may reduce digestive discomfort and, in turn, contribute to the wellbeing of infants and parents. Nutrition plays a major role in supporting the development of a healthy digestive system.
